Electronic equipment includes a frame having a wall and connectors attached to the wall of the frame. A main board has a connection edge at which it is provided with connectors for engaging the connectors that are attached to the wall of the frame when the main board is advanced relative to the frame along a connection axis. An edge connector receptacle is attached to the wall of the frame and defines a slot perpendicular to the connection axis and to the connection edge of the main board. An auxiliary board is attached to the main board and is oriented perpendicular to the main board and parallel to the connection axis. The auxiliary board has a connection edge perpendicular to the connection edge of the main board and positioned to enter the slot of the edge connector receptacle concurrently with engagement of the connectors at the connection edge of the main board with the connectors attached to the wall of the frame.

A snap-on guide for assisting engagement of a push-on BNC plug with a BNC receptacle has a sleeve adapted to fit over the barrel of the receptacle. The sleeve is formed at one end with two diametrically opposed slots for receiving respective bayonet pins of the receptacle, the slots being configured for engaging the bayonet pins in a manner that tends to retain the sleeve on the barrel against a force tending to remove the sleeve from the barrel. The guide has an extension with an interior surface which flares outward from the sleeve at its opposite end from the slots for receiving and guiding engagement of the plug.
